The justification in On Intelligence is what I'm talking about wrt words being "separated at most 1 em." Contrary to what Gruber says, there are no "unsightly gaps between words" because there is a maximum distance of 1 em between words, after which it favours ragged right.
Thanks, will do. Your game looks awesome, btw. I'll give it a try.
I believe Ebay and Microsoft actually hired the same agency to do their redesign.

The second of those is interesting. Most of the lines are right-justified, and just a few aren't. It looks to me as if it's right-justified the lines except for when it can't do so without introducing an unbearable amount of whitespace, in which case it's fallen back to ragged-right.

(You can see it isn't just ragged-right where most of the lines happen to end in the same place; compare the spacing on, e.g., the first two lines.)

I don't think I've ever seen anything typeset that way before.
It is going to be a completely different game for SEO trying to optimize for a Facebook engine. I welcome the changes. It's about time to deviate from links as a ranking metric.

That said, I read somewhere Google has over 100 more algorithm changes planned for this year.

Should be an interesting ride.
On the other hand, interacting with landlords as a tenant has already made me lose my faith in humanity. For how much any landlord I've rented from has cared, it was pretty much passive income for them.
Well the way you talk about it, it sounds like you are conflicted in how to describe it. Your word choice seems to acknowledge that its a job to an extent, while the intentions behind it are insistent that its your hobby.

I found that interesting.

At least in this case, I'm calling the bank. Meaning, I'm vising their page and I can confirm that it's actually the bank that I'm communicating with.

Browsers have been getting better about protecting users when it comes to online bank phishing attacks. Secure connections are emphasized more and getting rid of basic auth in the URL helps defend the customer from spoofing tactics.

I'm a modest Web Developer with a few years experience at a good agency in the UK. If I were to leave my company I know I'd be able to land a job somewhere fairly easily for similar pay.

Zynga is a well-known name and I'd be shocked if their developers struggle to find work when they are forced to leave.
You'll have to verify that disabling auto-loading of images will disable SVG parsing / rendering. SVG is embedded into the DOM tree, and not loaded in an img tag.
>You certainly do pay for national parks. If you're a citizen, you pay for it in income taxes and any money paid to local businesses while shopping that they then owe in taxes. If you're not a citizen, you're still indirectly paying through taxes paid to businesses while you are on vacation. National parks are not all funded by the entrance fee, they're government-subsidized.

Yes, but if you're a citizen you "pay" for it in a legally obligated way, so that payment tells an observer nothing about your preferences.

I spoke imprecisely, but my point was that there are resources which are free at the point of use which still have value to the user. Perhaps a national park was a bad example, I should just have said "the countryside".
By the time ie10 becomes the majority of ie market share, flash will have not mattered for many years
It just works. I don't need new features.
Yes you can. The new version of Flowplayer is HTML5 and then falls back to Flash if HTML5 isn't supported.
Which does not mean they have been "fucked over", or in which way have they?

How does the fact that senior execs cashed out relate to the fact that they don't get rich b/c their company has no sustainable business model and the stock crashed?
I agree that the page is a bit poor in communicating why you should pay, and cumbersome to use. OTOH, the paypal order page does indicate how much money you put towards each of the goals, so I suppose it is possible they abide with the UK laws.

Personally I would be happy to have a monthly subscription to simply keep Ubuntu improving, even without any additional value on top of what they already provide. I realize this could be done by simply donating monthly. However, in a subscription model they could probably set up a two-way communication channel between them and paying customers, to both help refine their goals and estimate how well they're being met, in a more continuous manner than random donations at download time.

Ask HN: What online storage are you using for your own private files?
I'm interested about online storage (maybe cloud) solutions were you keep your pictures, videos, ebooks or any other documents.

One example would be Dropbox for sure. But I would like to see more options.

Thank you
If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it.
Good point! Thanks Tom.

I assumed it was for one person but now you've mentioned it, that is probably for them both. In which case I guess it's less extreme on my brain.
Show HN: Google's video search is broken
Could you expand on that please? It's not clear to me what your pseudo-equation means, and therefore I don't understand the reasoning behind it.
Ability to loan is one I'd love, currently I have to break the DRM to let my wife read books we share, we could swap kindles (or share an account) but frankly it's easier to break the DRM.

My kindle (international v2) has a small crack in the screen after I dropped it on a hard floor when it wasn't in its case, also I have a few hairline cracks starting to appear in the case plastics. I'd guess it's not much worse than a laptop screen though.

Battery life - Still happy with mine spend around 2 hours a day reading while I commute and need to charge it around once a month. It's rarely been a problem and when on holiday I usually have either a PC or a micro USB charger. However I don't leave the 3G on.

Random access speeds - Don't jump around enough for this to be an issue.

Color - Not all that bothered to be honest.

However keeping buttons for page turning is an important feature for me. I was wondering how to get the paper white over here in europe but the reviews I've been seeing don't make me want to upgrade.
I recently switched to Cinnamon and couldn't be happier.
I never really liked Unity, i used Gnome Shell and it was usable ok. But for my work nothing seems to beat the good old taskbar-based design.

See my company Live Documents www.live-documents.com. Built in Flex. The advantage it gives us is the same code base can be used for the web, desktop and mobile platform (yes that includes ios).

That was supposed to be said with all due cynicism. It doesn't come across very well on the Internet.
Project Expense Management - ProjectVision
The whitelisting is on the IE10 thats embedded in the Windows 8 ui (those fancy tiles). The normal IE10 browser that you use to browse the web with has no such limitations. Nothing to see here...
5-10x the memory use? Only if coders smoked something. I agree that JITed runtime has some overhead, but in a great majority of cases it is far below what you write here.
So by putting your own label on something that everyone knows is a "Big Thing" (kickstarter) you hope to create a self-fulfilling prophesy that it will become a buzzword, which you can then use to crow about how you predicted it, possibly even fuelling some speaking engagements.

Battersea and Hackney personally.

The Bay Area is a bigger place BTW.
The thing is, at least in my experience, there is absolutely no need to have _any_ academic background in order to be a good businessman. What you do need to have is smarts (see the possibility), tenacity (grab the possibilty) and relentlessness (convert the possibilty to value). The actual background that you have will only affect the range of possibilities available to you.
What type of account are you using on Box?
I'm seeing that 50GB personal is 17E and ~1TB for 1 user professional is 13 E.
That option is called "relativenumber". You can go back to normal numbering with "set number". I find it very useful myself, though, to quickly move to a line with relative commands such as 10j, or select ranges, delete a number of lines, etc... The only case in which I really need absolute line numbers is when jumping to a line for an error message (luckily G key will always use absolute line numbers).
Virtualization With KVM On A Fedora 17 Server

iTunes university has a free JS course. Its a college course.

I'd also learn jQuery. The selectors work like CSS does, so that will be familiar to you.
Indeed, or, if that is not possible, consider lowering reliability. Business situations are different from academic settings where an alpha of 5% is more or less the rule.
We do not look for publications in scientific journals, nor do we engage for instance in medical research – and even there -, we are in a business situation trying to optimize decision making.

Up to us to decide for an alpha of 10% or 20%, as long as we are fully aware of the consequences of such choices. I am not advocating ‘going easy’ on statistical significance, I am in favour of weighing consequences and such can only be properly done if one masters the dynamics of reliabilty and power of a test. That could also mean you wanted a reliability of 99% and a power of 99%, it all depends on the risks you want take with your specific research questions.
The analogue is living in Oakland or San Jose. Of course public transportation is much worse in the bay area, if you happen to live and work near the right Caltrain or Bart stops then it can be comparable.
The title is taken from the original New york post article.
Just as a minor PSA: I get that certain consultant types around these parts are always saying "raise your rates", and I get that a lot of people who work freelance do undercharge and often significantly, but the advice has very limited value unless it has some sort of quantifiable element attached to it. Otherwise, with due respect to those consultant types, it sounds a lot like "We're obviously smarter than you, because we charge enough and we're sure you don't" without any real data to back up such a claim.

Obviously rates vary dramatically according to many factors other than the desire of the freelancer/consultant/whatever who wants to charge them: location, industry, level of experience/credibility/relevant specialist skills, and so on. But without even a general indication of how much the poster child consultants of HN have succeeded in putting their own rates up before dispensing this advice endlessly to everyone else, it's hard to take seriously the idea that an average freelancer who isn't Internet famous is going to jump from their normal rate to something on a different kind of level, at least not without fundamentally changing the way they're working in a lot more ways than just the cost per unit time on invoices.

Let me ask a very simple question, which hopefully those consultants might be able to answer without giving away anything sensitive about the specific rates they are personally charging right now: if the going rate for freelance software development work in your area is typically in the range $x-$y, and you have moved via successive rate increases and repositioning what you offer to $z, approximately what are the ratios between x, y and z? For extra marks, since in the podcast a comparison was drawn with the way lawyers charge, how would z compare to a typical range for lawyers working in the same area and with the same kinds of clients?
Interesting.
Flash is not just video and ads. Flex is a powerful and rich application stack on Flash platform. There are numerous sites out there using Flex.
Right, he could just say no, it's true.

Surely what he could learn from a conference will also be very useful to the startup too.
And some of us (especialy dyslexics) have poor short term memory.
If you find a tutorial which solves this very problem you are facing, then you are surely good to go. I doubt however that you will find a tutorial on "how to increase traffic to a specific website by 10%". But that's what people actually pay for. They don't pay big bucks for you to implement that simple app or to fix that NullPointerException in their Java web app. I've been there. Yes, they might pay you $100/h for that, but not $10000 for the whole task.

You do need sharp wits and problem solving ability to deliver this kind of value, you need your methods in place (e.g. testing and validating everything) and you need to know where to look for unknowns. A good pitch is not the whole story as much as problem solving abilities are not the whole story.
I loled, but you should make some youtube videos, its a very niche topic you would drive good traffic back
Some super quick comments.

What is the mechanical engineering behind this? Did you do all the calcs? Simulate it in CAD or something? Gas struts need to be tuned to the weight you are counter balancing; are you selling or recommending a particular mattress with this? How much resistance do the gas struts provide at the top of the stroke, what happens if you drop it at 3/4 raised? Do you need to fix this back to the wall or floor; i.e. could the whole thing topple over on top of you if it jammed while you were lowering it? Can you see all the parts where childrens fingers might get caught from the raising lowering position? The desk pantograph mechanism has quite slender struts, they look like they could be quite easily damaged.

Most double beds have a central beam under the slats and a lot more slats than this. Why is yours different?

In general, it's one thing to use your own prototype where you have an intuitive understanding of its weaknesses, but when other people use it they will break things you wouldn't expect. Will it fail safe?

It looks terrible, some bits of structure look too big and some too small. There are parts of the design where the same problem has been solved with a different solution, why isn't it symmetrical?

$650 Including all labour? Seems too cheap. Are you expecting people to build this out of construction grade timber like the prototype?

I've had a rental property now for many years. It's in an evolving, urban Boston neighborhood and the property generates ~$1000 more than the mortgage, taxes and insurance per month. I have 5 tenants who are all recent college grads. My agent did credit checks on all of the original tenants and many new ones have cycled through over the years. Aside from replacing a couple of appliances (which consisted of ordering them online and coordinating delivery with a tenant) I've had zero issues. In fact, the last 3 years, I've given each tenant $100 off of December's rent to let them know I like having them as tenants. I have about $80,000 out of pocket invested so without even considering the equity I'm building in the house, I'm getting around a 15% rate of return (granted at a higher tax rate that a capital gains...)
Wow, do they have any design or UX people over there or just an overwhelming level of nonsense politics or both?

It doesn't 'look' or 'feel' good at all.

Almost every change I see is a step back, instead of forward, which is crazy considering how awful it was before.

Then again Ebay's strengths were never in anything product related.

I do believe that Ebay is very strong in the business side of things which is the real reason why they are still here today.

Sadly the product has always been in a state of neglect, so maybe I'm crazy for actually expecting something different from them this time.
If we actually do live in a computer simulation, and scientists carry out research to systematically find and test all the corner cases, we'd better hope they don't trigger a segfault and accidentally destroy the universe :)

I've just been trying out CodeAcademy[1] and it seems like a nice place to get your hands dirty if you like learning things interactively.
They do have a track on jQuery as well - which is something that I think you should be interested in coming from the HTML/ CSS side of things where you want to add interactivity to your pages.

These courses should be quick to run through, get your confidence up and have you playing around with JavaScript on your own projects very quickly.

There are a few other similar sites out there.

It's just amazing. From this introduction, I learned how to generate TAGS and feed it to Emacs for the first time, and make up a custom "anything buffer" to capture any lines that I wish.

Awesome X one million billion times.

I created http://www.colormandala.com

It makes ~2 dollars a day from adsense. Breadcrumbs, but I haven't spend any time on it for like half a year. Amazon affiliate adds almost nothing to this. Being in the Chrome Webstore seems to have helped a lot in page visits.

I still wonder from time to time if I should put some effort in upping this a bit. But my time is limited and the app doesn't fit my current strategy (mobile, mhealth specifically).
...which is newsstand-bait.
doesn't the significance of this depend on the roles of the two browsers in windows 8? is that explained anywhere? how can you understand or comment usefully on this without knowing what the difference in uses for the two is?
Interview with Mario Schulzke, Founder of IdeaMensch [video]

The genes? Like, if the kid of a miner is adopted by a couple of lawyers, his miner genes would still push him to a life of digging?
They do mention in the podcast (rather at the end) that internet famous is not customer famous. Patrick is well-known only to HNers and then some, but not to all CEOs in the world. Much seems to come from word of mouth.

Do you think Patrick or Brennan are übermenschen? Can they program 30x as good as you? They focus on bringing value to clients, discarding pride in technical perfection (well maybe they do, but your customers don't want to hear it anyway). It's taking development focus from "how you do" it to "what you do". Once you do that, your methods change over time - at least that's what I got out of this podcast. Of course you can't demand 100k for an app from a bootstrapped startup - but you can demand 100k for an app which makes a bank some more millions per year.
Why is it broken, again?
reading the lines, It seems this is only in the Metro version of IE. But still an hassle, where the desktop IE pops-up when non white-listed Flash content is on the page.

Submitting your site for consideration for Internet Explorer compatibility
As stated previously, developers who have sites that require Flash Player can mark the page with a META tag (or serve a header) indicating that the site requires a plug-in. This causes Internet Explorer 10 to prompt the end user to open the site in Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop. If a site is on the CV list as compatible with Internet Explorer 10, Internet Explorer 10 will always open it with Flash Player enabled and the user won't be prompted to open in Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop.
Is that actually even legal? I think our labor laws might have a huge hole because they don't actually define what constitutes working time. Is there caselaw on the issue?
> Network Effect as in they use their sizable userbase to prevent any other competition in the space

That's not network effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect).
I think you mean to say: "It's unfair that a service, which provides more value than a coompetitor, charges a higher fee"?

The Network Effect does not imply monopolistic behaviour.

That's two distinct issues.
Although large successful companies tend to do both, it does not imply causality.

It is true that the need for the network effect is a Barrier to Entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barriers_to_entry), which is what keeps your "competitor" from entering, and which leaves Ebay with monopolistic situation - intented or not.
Wow... this is awesome. But I can't think of any ways how this could be really useful. Or maybe I need more imagination.
Looking at the diff, it doesn't appear anything was really fixed, just removed. I guess that explains the quick turn around time on the exploit.
Thanks for references mates!!!

All business behaves this way and everything goes smoothly. You shouldn't demean someone for using a trick because business is game of tricks.
Stripe might be more dev friendly. But PayPal is years ahead. They are available in most countries and you can practically do anything with PayPal Adaptive Payments. They are also doing a the Square like credit card processing plus many many other things.

I know Stripe is good. But It will be interesting to see when they can match PayPal's features.
You could certainly learn how the general syntax of the language and how things like prototyping and callbacks work.

Why limit it to a month though? Learn the basics, develop an understanding of how it works and then carry on learning as you go.

As for books: "JavaScript: The Good Parts" and "jQuery in Action" should help you out.
